Temecula, CA
A very bright blue ball caught my peripheral vision while in my backyard late this night, and it was moving in a western/downward trajectory; what seemed not terribly high in the night sky. When I glanced at it to get a full view, it continued to fly past towards our treeline at a continued velocity (seemed slower than a fireball or meteor or shooting star) and didn't seem to break up or change shape. It was a bright white-blue color, with a small trail behind it. It vanished quickly from my vantage point with trees all around, but was the largest and brightest and bluest object I've ever seen that low and that slow moving. My husband was with me and only caught a small glance at it...

5 crafts flew across the sky from west to east. One at a time appeared and flew from the west to a point south of our view and disappeared, then the next one would appear and fly the same route approximately 10 seconds per craft. I was amazed and have never seen anything like this before. We were out to view the comet and just happened to see this phenomenon.

I was watching the stars with some friends over a campfire, the sun was going down but it was not too dark yet. Clear skies. What seemed like out of nowhere in the middle of the sky I seen 5 to 6 orange-ish balls/orbs that formed an arrowhead, flying right to left in the sky. The colors of the balls reminded me of the sky when the sun is setting, the orange/pink/red hues. They were below cloud level, and faster than a plane but made no noise. The balls kind of bounced and bobbed but stayed in formation. There was absolutely no light to them, and were not bright. They almost looked see-through. I watched for a few seconds before I told anyone trying to figure out what it was then when I realized what was happening I quickly told my friends to look but the orbs were already dissipating. No-one else was able to see them

To start my husband and I sit outside almost every night when weather permits. One night I was looking directing up in the sky and saw 1 flash of light then my husband started seeing these also. We use several apps at night airplane/satellite/sky. The night in question we were just looking in the direction of this cloud that was going by. All the sudden we start seeing single flashes behind it. The flashes I were in different locations. The cloud floated away.

I and a friend were approaching the sidewalk where an adult male and female observer both 20's/30's, were looking and pointing into the sky. Initially I thought maybe they saw something in the tree, then jokingly I offered "What is there a UFO or something?" The female observer responded, "yea I think it is" and I and my friend were easily able to make out the object they were looking at right away -- it was hard to miss, even in the night sky. It was a gray oval/circle that did not appear illuminated such that a star, planet or terrestrial aircraft would be (or what I'd imagine a UFO would be) and it was stationary. It also did not appear that high up, almost as if you could reach out and pluck it from the sky. We wondered whether it was a balloon or a drone, but it did not move in a way that would suggest that and both observers we encountered confirmed it has been stationary for about ten minutes and they stayed looking at it wond! ering if it would move. The object appeared solid, almost as if it could be made of dark grey metal. To my observation it seemed to "wobble" somewhat as if ever so slightly hovering, but gave the impression of being stationary. It was clear sky with no clouds and there were a few stars that could be made out to give a basis of comparison. We stayed for about five minutes staring until my friend became spooked and we then walked around the corner to my apartment. We came back to the same spot 30 minutes later and it was gone and the sky was still clear. No sounds or lights emanated from the object, it appeared to be visible due to illumination from city light pollution.

I was out in my front yard yesterday evening watering my plants while my 2 children were riding their bikes in our street when my 10 year old son started yelling mom a shooting star! I didn’t think anything about it and went about watering my flowers. Then my daughter also yelled out and then they both yelled mom you gotta see this it’s spinning! So I thought that’s strange shooting stars don’t spin! I walked into the street where they were and I witnessed an orangish glowing orb stop spinning in a circle (spinning as if you were to draw a circle motion in the sky with your finger) and then went up higher straight into the atmosphere until it went behind clouds and disappeared.

Rio Medina, TX
Location: Rio Medina, Texas Date: 21 July 2020 Time: 12:18pm to 12:30pm Today, my wife and I were in our backyard. Our backyard faces to the SSE. To our right, would be westward and so forth. At approximately 12:18pm, while facing Southward, I happened to look straight upwards and slightly to the South and noticed one (1) object in the sky. This object seemed perfectly rounded and cylindrical with a dull silver appearance. The object itself was very high in the atmosphere. Judging height distance, I would say approximately 45,000ft or higher. Adjacent to this area is a small airport and an Air Force training aircraft was seen flying Eastward near the object but at a much lower altitude. I would estimate the USAF training aircraft to have flown below the object at approximately 20,000 to 30,000ft. I am very familiar with spotting aircraft, orbiting objects, and weather. My wife and I initially thought it was a balloon of some sort. This was quickly thrown aside as the object did not move in any direction during our observational period of 12 minutes. If it were a balloon, winds would eventually have directed some lateral movement. This never happened. This object remained in the same location the entire time. Looking in the sky, clouds began to intermittingly cover the object, then reveal itself as the clouds moved along. This was not an aircraft. Aircraft that are capable of suspending themselves at high altitudes do not resemble a small round silver dot. It was not a bird. I have seen Vultures and many bird species fly at very high elevations here in this area. At the distance this object was it would have not been capable of being a drone. Frequency distance would cause communication distortion and drone failure. I spent many years in the Air Force around multiple aircraft and Nuclear Weapons. To better understand how small the object was you would have to imagine looking in the sky and seeing the size of a pencil eraser head at a distance of 30 to 40ft. It was not large by any means at the distance observed. When the USAF training aircraft crossed under the object heading Eastward, I used that moment for size and distance reference. The object was still significantly smaller and higher than the aircraft. This object was difficult to see as I had to assist my wife in finding it numerous times over again. We both were able to see the object several times when clouds were not obstructing our views. I immediately grabbed my camera and waited for the object to reappear from the clouds. I was able to see the object with my eyes so the last three pictures I took had the object in them. When I processed the last three images I was not able to see anything. For clarification, I took several photos of the same area when I was unable to see it momentarily. I wanted to capture something. The last three pictures I took, I could see the object with my own eyes. But when I processed the images I was not able to see much. I believe I may have found the object by manipulating background colors. But for the most part you cannot see anything in any of the photos I took. Perhaps it was just too far away. Either way, I took the pictures in attempt to capture the object. Since this happened I have made numerous additional attempts to view this with the naked-eye again with no success. I additionally reached out to a NASA friend to ask the following question, “Are we able to see planets, stars or celestial objects with the naked-eye in the middle of the day?” His response: “No, not with the naked eye, you would need to know exactly where an object was and it could be viewed through a Telescope during daylight times.” I would like to mention that I have absolutely no reason to lie or make this up. This is 100% true to the best of my and my wife’s knowledge. If you have any additional questions please feel free to reach out. Thank you for your time.

On the morning of Tuesday, July 21, 2020 while reviewing our motion alerts from overnight, at timestamp 4:36 AM, I noticed six lights that were flying (NE) in sync from the bottom right of the video. One came close to a bird feeder pole and slightly banked, then re-positioned as they continued flying. I have no clue what this and other recorded events like it were that followed for a few days after (July 21, 22, and 26). Impressed though that it seemed to be able to react to an object in its path (the bird feeder pole) and adjust accordingly. This is an account that I witnessed through video footage within 2 hours of its occurrence. Night vision (non-color) on the camera sensed the movement but did not trigger the floodlight as larger objects would. Therefore, I do not know if the objects had color. While flying away (at a distance of 16 feet from security camera to bird feeder pole) they appear to be rounded yet elongated and about 3 feet while in sync. Weather was clear, 76˚F, elevation appx. 410ft Video link of security camera footage UnidentiFied O #1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOqS1btkDCw Side note…Not knowing if this is coincidental or not, also discovered that morning was a dead rabbit (to the left of the said bird feeder pole in this video and report) whose body was flat with clear-ish slime on it, however the head appeared to be untouched and fully shaped with no damage, eyes wide open and ears straight up. No blood present and there appeared to be no bones. It also completely decomposed unusually fast and not able to tell anything had been there, within three days.

I was watching the air craft thinking it was a helicopter. I’ve been seeing it for the passed 2 weeks. This time it was close. I thought there was a pending investigation near by because it sounded like a chopper as Well And it also had red white and blue lights like an nypd car does when its sirens are on. I checked citizens app but there were no recent crimes. I stared at it for a while until I believe it noticed me because it sort of played peek a boo and went right behind the house in front of me but in a distance. It then disappeared But to get closer to me but more higher and out of sight hard to explain. Then it went back to where it was by the building. At this point for some reason I thought police were probably going to arrest me. And that’s when i felt this heat like feeling going through my body. Starting at my head.. like some sort of radiation. Burning me like frying me. And that’s when I realized it was the craft. I honestly thought it was the government putting something into the air with everything going on during these times. and I thought I would wake up and find it all over the news or on instagram but after looking All over there were no sightings near me reported. I ran inside the house because I never felt such a thing. I was scared. Weak. I told the people I was around that I felt I may die of cancer from the brain because that’s where it burned most. I had a headache for the next 3-4 hours. I was scared of the dark and kept all lights on. Woke up a friend and my daughter. My friend didn’t believe me but my daughter said she did because she never saw me so scared before. I told her it started 2 weeks ago. That I saw this bright looking little star though the sky light in the ceiling. That is when she looked and said there was only one star there at that moment. When I looked it it blinked red and disappeared. I warned my daughter to stop staring at it and never look at it if she ever saw it again. That’s when she really believed me.

Large, dark, solid Triangle shaped object with NO LIGHTS, almost the same color as the night sky, but Not quite. It was about 300-500 feet over the top of our treetops. I was looking for falling stars, and would NOT have even seen or noticed it at all but that it flew over the trees where I was looking, and it obviously blocked out the sky behind it. There was NO sound—it was eerily quiet, in fact. And it didn’t seem like it was in a big hurry, just steadily going by, and it disappeared from my view when it passed over another bunch of trees on the other side of my house. What struck me the most was how stealthy it was. No lights at all. No sound. Just a solid, dark shape blocking out the sky behind it. I couldn’t help but realize that this object would not be seen at all by most people, even if it was right over their heads—you just very likely would not notice it at all unless you were specifically looking where it was flying. I woke up my husband immediately, and we sat outside for another hour or so, but didn’t see anything else (although we did see several falling stars). After I went back inside I began looking up known stealth-type aircraft from our government for comparative purposes, and what I found online was not remotely close to what I saw, and the videos I saw showed aircraft that made noise. So they weren’t even remotely the same. I don’t know what the aircraft that I saw is, but I would be thrilled to have it as an asset for our country. If we own something like that in our arsenal, we are even more badass than I ever! dreamed! Also of note is that I live a few blocks from I-95. The object would have crossed the highway, it was not moving parallel to it, from East to West.

About 000 midnight was getting ready to pass a semi truck when I checked my blind spot drivers side. And thats when I saw 2 square blue/green things pacing me at 85 mph. About then i said to my wife riding passenger "hunny what the F#!$ is next to me?" And her reply "where" I said "My blind spot drivers side" at this point still 85 mph. She says "what the F#!$ is that?" I reply, "I dont know. Y ou seeing the blueish squares?" "Yea," she says. So I decided to signal and merge to pass. As i do the squares fall back fast. Like way fast and takes place behind me now above the trunk hight. Which just before they were even with the back driver window. A hight increase of 2 feet at 85mph. Now I am passing the semi and look in the rearview mirror the squares pace me up to 95-100mph as I start going around the semi truck they fall back. Move fast behind the semi. After passing me and the wife conferred what was seen and I hit the breaks and slowed down so the semi could pass. And there was nothing behind it at all. In fact just the two of us on the road as far behind as i could see. Miles of nothing but dark behind us. There was no sounds. No noise. The wind in the sunroof was ... Well there was none. 85mph there was a lot of wind coming in before that came up on me. I'll describe now what we saw. Two square ⬛ ⬛ side by side maybe 12 inches by 12 inches. The blue/green was like the old indaglo watches blue green. The dog was asleep and we traveled close to 15 or 20 miles in a matter of what seemed 10 minutes. Which in its self has happened to us before. Never has there been this odd light. Dont know what it was. The stretch of 84 in Oregon might be a good place to set up and watch sometime.

We were trying to look for the Neowise comet even though we knew it was too late. I was showing my husband how to find the Big Dipper, when we saw a bright white light flash above the handle. We both said, "Did you see that?" We saw a faint moving light, like a plane, so we kept watching, and it flashed again. My husband grabbed his binoculars after the first two flashes, trying to see if he could see any red or blue lights to identify it as an airplane. None, just the one, bright white light. Our daughter came out and we pointed to where we were tracking it, then she saw it, too. It didn't have the trajectory of a plane, and the light didn't flash at regular intervals. From the Big Dipper's handle where we first spotted it, it arced up to the right, then down to the left, then a little hook to the right, then up and arching to the right again, then towards the southeast. And it moved much faster than a plane.

I was looking south at the planet Jupiter and my wife was facing me looking north. We were in front of our yard on the porch. This happened around 10pm I saw 3 lights that looked like stars in a straight line. It struck me as odd as they were really close to one another but in a straight lined with Jupiter. I told my wife to turn her head around and look but she was in a lower chair and couldn't get turned around to see at that moment. At that moment I saw them move very quickly into a Triangle pattern and hold that position for roughly 15-20 seconds. I got excited at that point, This finally convinced my wife to get out of the chair and look up. She saw the patterns but wasn't sure, She just thought they were stars until they one by one disappeared. At that point I had raised my voice in excitement that my neighbor who was out walking her dog and my younger teenage daughter who was downstairs in the living room heard my voice and came out to see what was go! ing on. It was really crazy but exciting.

The only reason I find this compelling is that I believe there was a flight band during that time which would only suggest to me that it was not a man-made object

I have pictures of this object and they have great quality. For weeks I looked at how the planets looked from earth and there is no similarities. It was about 11:15 and I was in the basement finishing up some homework when my dad screamed to come outside immediately as he was out letting our dog workout his last business before bed. I couldn’t believe what I was looking at. This object was being circled blatantly by planes which had blinking lights on them (red) it was saucer shaped emitting a crazy amount of light. After staring for an hour it vanished. I sent the picture to my old astrology teacher and even he could not believe what his eyes were looking at.

First, I am a nature lover. I have been seeing strange objects in the sky since June 27. On July 20 at 10:37, I came out of my house to smoke a cigarette and I looked at the sky in front and I saw two: circles of light with a light in the middle that turned on and off. one moved towards New York and the other to the left. Then the one at the left moved towards my street, I stood just under the canopy of my building and looked up and it threw a silver light to me. I entered the building quicky and my body was shaking, I do not know how I went up the stairs. I was petrified and it took me a long time to fall sleep.

My family and I were out at approximately 10:10 pm to watch the space station fly by from the West heading East. We were also out in hopes of spotting the Neowise comet, the sky was clear and beautiful even in the middle of the city. We saw several satellites and 2 meteors. We are aware of the Perseids meteor shower so we were keeping an eye out but not expecting to see much yet, especially with the city glow. We saw a couple of satellites heading from south to north and were surprised at how much we had already seen while waiting. At about 10:13 a flashing bright light starting soaring across the sky. We were sure that it was the space station. It was flashing red and blue. We all followed it, passing around the 2 pairs of binoculars we had and watched it soar about as fast as a satellite. Maybe a little bit faster. Then it stopped. We thought at first that it was still heading away from us so we were seeing it go into the distance. Then one of us was looking towards the West and saw the actual Space Station. There was no arguing that the second object was the actual Space Station, it was zooming by pretty fast and the brightest thing we had seen yet. What I noticed was that it passed right by the object that was flashing red and blue staying still in the sky still flashing, and kept going off into the distance over the horizon. We stayed out watching other satellites, tried to find the positions of the planets and get one more peek at the Comet. We were still were able to see the flashing red and blue whatever-it-was hanging out. When we went inside it was still there. I have spent a lot of time sky gazing and have never seen an object hover like that. I don’t know what it could possibly be. UFO? Was it a drone? I know nothing about drones or other possible aircraft but thought I’d pass the info along.
